MIR. Jonathan Lawrence, father of
). 5. Lawrence. of Jonesboro, one the
Oldest and most respected citizens of JEFF
ferson county, died very suddenly at his
home in Mounts Cross Roads, Sunday,
Jan. 0. Mr.. Lawrence was born October
o. 1906, and was consequently in his sod
year at the time Of his death. He had
filled several positions of trust, and was
looked upon as one of the best and most
honorable citizens Of his county, and was
a consistent member Of the Society of
Friends. The funeral took place on
Monday the 10th, and the remains were
inferred in the old Quaker graveyard at
Friends Station. Five members of his

was an active man for his age and his
demise was a great shock to his children

The entertainment given by the Glce
Club at Mrs. Munsey's last Friday eve.
ming, was n of the most pleasing
events Of the season. The admission
fees amounted to the neat little sum of
$8, which went to benefit of the M. L.
church. The first part of the programme
of the evening consisted Of music and
recitations. The selections were given in
a manner deserving Of more than mere
mention, but our space forbids. The lat
ter part of the entertainment consisted
of q musical extravaganza entitled, "The
Maid and (Game) Pie" This compost
ton was simply the old nursery rhyme,
"Sing a song of s%ixpence," etc., in new
dress in verse and set to bright and pretty
airs from various popular operas, and was
Of a burlesque nature. The play as a
whole was well given and the characters
generally well taken, though the effect
wa somewhat marred by the lack of a
stage. The singing of Arthur Earnest
(who was every inch q King') and that
of Ed. Munsey was especially good as
was that of the court physician, Franc,
Sparks. Misses BERTHE Munsey, as queen
and Nellie Brownlow Is the maid who
stole the sixpence took their parts well
The other characters were well chosen
and were represented by Misses Mamie
Dillworth, Nellie Hoss, Sallie Hale, Liz
zie Reeves, Annie Brownlow, and Mas
tiers Romeo Russell and Gus Sparks
Much might be said for this kind Of en-.
tertainment, andl those to whom its in.
production into our town is due, deserve
credit. We cannot highly commend thu
after play later in the evening.

"A find which may be of interest Il
psychologists was made on the oil
Range farm in Knob Creek district,
week or so ago. VIM. G. Hale who ha
been prospecting for silver ore In tina
vicinity for some time, found parts OF
skeleton, In an excavation which he ha
made some twenty-three feet below th
surface of the ground. The most remark
able thing connected with the finding {
the bones is, that they were beneath
solid limestone rock six feet thick, whic
it was necessary to blast to break through
The remains lay in a bed of sand an
pebbles and were In a good state of pr

where they were examined by sever'
physicians, who pronounced them par
